I’ve easily written about hundreds of vacuums and cleaning appliances, so I can say with certainty that the Shark Navigator, an NBC Select-reader favorite, is one of the best upright vacuums out there. It comes with a HEPA filter, which makes it easier to clean up large and small debris, and it comes with a crevice and upholstery attachment for cleaning in between small spaces and embedded pet hair on a couch or carpet. The top compartment also detaches so you can carry it around to clean and reach more awkwardly shaped areas, such as an upholstered staircase.
This leaf blower has a 4.7-star average rating from 2,592 reviews and comes with a multi-voltage charger and two batteries to help the blower push powerful gusts of leaves up to 30 minutes at a time, according to the brand. It doesn’t use gas or leave behind any emissions, and has low noise levels, compared to other options, according to the brand.
This tool kit comes with two power drills, a drill driver and an impact driver, two 20-volt batteries, a charger and a bag to hold everything. The drills each have 15 clutch settings and handles with an LED light for more precise work. Plus, the drills are compatible with a wide range of Dewalt’s other attachments and drill bits.
This mini fridge, which has a 4.4-star average rating from 5,131 reviews, has a small freezer at the top — just enough space to house a couple pints of ice cream, a bag of frozen vegetables or a small frozen meal. Plus, the inside of the fridge door is lined with shelves that can hold an entire gallon of milk or 2-liter bottle of soda. While this comes in various colors and sizes, only certain combinations are on sale.
The Dyson V8 cordless vacuum is another lightweight but effective option from Dyson, particularly on carpet, where pet hair often gets stuck. The motorbar detangles as you clean, so even if you have long hair or are picking up large messes, it’s less likely to slow the machine down, according to Dyson. It also comes with a wall dock, so you don’t have to lean it up against the wall in a closet. You can also easily empty the dustbin by pushing a button, eliminating the need to touch the debris itself.
This extendable power scrubber takes a lot of work out of cleaning bathtubs, tile and cobblestone, since you don’t have to bend down. The angled brush head is adjustable, making it easier to get in small corners or elevated windows. Plus, it comes with multiple microfiber cloth covers, a charger and battery.
The Ring video doorbell lets you communicate remotely with people at your front door via its companion app and doorbell speaker. It will give you video of your front door, which you can access right from your phone. It also has colored night vision so you can get a clear picture of what’s going on at night, according to the brand, and you’ll receive notifications on your phone when it detects any motion.The set also comes with an indoor camera that you can use to check in on your pets when you’re away.
These AA batteries from Energizer can last up to 10 years on the shelf, so you don’t have to worry about replacing them frequently, according to the brand. Plus, since storing batteries properly is so important, these come with a sealing technology to help prevent them from leaking and potentially starting a fire.
This keypad, which has a 4.2-star average rating from 502 reviews at Home Depot, lets you control the locks on your doors remotely via an app on your phone. You can also create individual codes for people to use for added home security. Plus, it’s easy to install — all you need is a screwdriver, according to the brand.
The Ninestars trash-can may look like your average garbage bin, but it actually comes with a motion sensor opening, so you don’t have to touch it. It’s compatible with standard trash bags and has a built-in retainer ring that’ll keep bags in place. The can, which has a 4.6-star average rating from 1,176 ratings, requires four “D” batteries, which are not included. .
When I reported on the best ways to snake a drain, almost all of the experts I spoke with recommended the Drain Weasel as a safe alternative to using liquid drain cleaner, which can damage pipes. It wraps hair around itself and makes it easy to pull hair out and allow the tub to drain properly.
You can adjust this 22-foot ladder to 28 different heights. With a 4.8-star average rating from 2,095 reviews, it has a weight capacity of up to 300 pounds, a removable shelf for holding a small bucket of paint, brushes and other tools and you can fold it down when not in use for storage.
A robot vacuum is the ultimate luxury — it can clean your space for you even when you aren’t home. This vacuum moves in a grid formation rather than a swerving one, which means it works more thoroughly and misses less debris on the floor, according to Shark. It also has a self-cleaning brushroll that untangles pet hair as it picks it up from carpets, a self-emptying feature and enough space in its dustbin to hold up to 45 days of debris, according to the brand.
Around the size of a coaster, this smart device connects to the Google Home app so you can control your thermostat remotely. It also sends your app HVAC-related alerts and reminders, such as when it’s time to replace your air filter and whether or not to check on your furnace. Plus, it can turn itself down when you’re away to help you save energy, according to Google.
This front-loading washer can clean up to 20 pounds of laundry in under 30 minutes, according to LG. It also has AI technology and sensors to detect fabric type and weight to determine the best wash cycle. Plus, you can pair it with an App to help you determine the best drying cycle for each load.
This swiveling monochromatic armchair, which arrives fully assembled, comes with a removable lumbar pillow to support the lower back. It has a base that spins 360 degrees and a weight capacity up to 800 pounds, according to the brand. It’s available in five neutral colors, including taupe, beige and dark gray.
This rolling workbench doubles as a mobile storage unit with nine drawers. It has a weight capacity of 1,500 pounds and measures 46 inches x 37.1 inches, so it’s around the same size as many bar carts or entryway consoles.
The front-loading dryer from GE has an auto dry feature that monitors the internal air temps of your machine to determine the right drying time for your items, according to the brand. Plus, you can use its extended tumble feature to toss clothes without any heat so you can avoid creases and wrinkles, according to GE. You can also install the door from either side, depending on what’s best for your space.
